In your BIOS on this l;aptop, all you need to enable is "SECURE BOOT". Look in the bios for this option.

I'm using hyper v. Could hyper v prevent txt from enabling? In event viewer I see the following log: System Guard enabled but not supported. Reason: TXT is disabled by the BIOS in MSR_FEATURE_CONTROL.
Do I need to enable intel VT - d? What can I do?

Hi Leli,

I see that Secure Boot is enabled, but Secure Launch is not working. Could you please provide screenshots of the current settings for secure launch?
